Prime Minister Gilmar “Pec” Bessas of Curaçao said the situation surrounding rising coronavirus and influenza infections on the island was “under control.” Bessas takes over as acting Minister of Health and is responding to recent developments on the island.
It was announced earlier this week that there was a clear increase in the number of influenza and Corona cases. At Al Jazeera Hospital, people with respiratory problems were recently separated from other patients as a precaution to prevent the spread of infection.
All visitors to the SDKK prison in Curaçao have been required to wear a face mask since Wednesday, the administration announced on Tuesday. Moreover, the number of employees of companies and institutions who have reported flu-like symptoms of illness has been very high since the beginning of this year.
However, according to Pisa, there is no reason to panic. He calls on residents to remain alert. According to him, everyone must take their responsibility to prevent further increases. This includes washing hands regularly, wearing a face mask, and maintaining social distance.
